Ingredients:

Serving

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
20 asparagus spears, fresh (about 1 lb.)
4 1/2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
2 tsp cornstarch
1 cup chicken broth

Directions:

Soak 5-10 toothpicks in water to cover.
Flatten chicken breasts slightly - to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Wrap each breast around 5 asparagus spears; secure with toothpicks.
Place in a lightly greased 9x13x2 inch baking dish.
In a small bowl whisk together the oil, lemon juice, basil, thyme, pepper and salt; pour over chicken/asparagus bundles.
Cover asparagus tips with aluminum foil.
Cover entire pan with aluminum foil and bake at 350F for 15 minutes.
Remove top aluminum foil covering (leave the covers on the asparagus tips).
Sprinkle with green onions.
Bake 12-15 minutes longer or until the chicken juices run clear and asparagus is crisp-tender.
Remove bundles to a serving platter and keep warm.
In a saucepan, combine chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth; stir in pan juices.
Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes until thickened, stirring constantly.
Remove toothpicks from bundles.
Serve one bundle per plate topped with sauce.
